Too expensive to use the ferry. Adds £36 for 4 to go for a meal at the Shipwrights or coffee at Holy Mackeral. Sorry for those two businesses

Rock Island Charters
(4 miles)
A friendly charter business based at Helford Passage offering fishing trips and sea safaris.
Click here for further details
Godrevy Cove & Leggan Cove
(2 miles)
Godrevy Cove is a lovely sandy beach over 300m in length and unlike other beaches in the area, there is still plenty of sand at high water. Access is via the Coast Path but it’s not a difficult walk, only about 500m from the hamlet of Rosenithon where you can leave the car on the road. There’s good swimming and snorkelling here, as well as rock pools at low tide and the beach is never crowded. You can also access next door Leggan Cove across the foreshore at low water, a similar but smaller and more sheltered beach.
Porthallow Beach
(2 miles)
(6)
A small sheltered pebble beach with lovely views where fishermen used to launch their boats in their hundreds. Today there are still a few working fishing boats pulled up on the shore and the unspoilt village has a popular pub, aptly named The Five Pilchards. Car parking literally on the beach so not far to carry all the kit, lots of rockpools exposed at low tide and great snorkeling just offshore.
Nothing special
September 2023
A very quiet beach. Great coastal walks with stunning views over the sea.
May 2023
Gorgeous beach and easy to get to the sea. Shale and rock beach but enough space for kids to enjoy themselves
August 2022
lovely quite pebble beach, pub right on the beach with public toilets
June 2021
A lovely sheltered beach of rocks and pebbles so no good for sandcastles etc. We visited regularly after 7 pm and not during the day and it was almost always deserted (Spring bank holiday week) Great to just watch the waves roll in and soak up the ambience.

Bosahan Cove
(4 miles)
This is a real gem but quite tricky to access, so it’s not for everyone. Almost hidden on the southern banks of the Helford River, this idyllic sand and shingle cove is surrounded by thick woodland and is a fantastic spot to swim or sunbathe, often without another soul in sight. To get there either cut through the gardens of the Bosahan estate (summer months only, admission charges apply), bring a small boat or walk about a mile along the coast path from Helford Village. No amenities due to its location, dogs allowed all year round.
Grebe Beach
(4 miles)
(1)
A quiet and secluded shingle beach on the Helford River in between the villages of Durgan and Mawnan. Access is via a short woodland walk from Durgan and then a steep path down to the beach, which means it’s rarely crowded and ideal if you prefer peace and quiet to cafes and facilities, of which there are none. The water is safe for swimming here and there are rocky outcrops to explore and jump off. It’s worth bearing in mind though that while there is a large beach at low water, with the highest tides it’s completely covered. Dogs welcome all year round.
This beach would probably be a problem for pushchairs but is a little more secluded. We met a lot of dog walkers.
